Dear NILL Friends,
Next week we will be moving the Indian Law Bulletins to a new email design. We hope that you like the new look and that it make it easier for you to get your bulletins on any device.
Even though the bulletins may look different, the content is the same. We will still be working hard to bring you the latest Indian Law news headlines. If you want to donate and help ensure that we can continue our unique programs like the Indian Law Bulletins and the Tribal Law Gateway, you can do so at https://narf.org/nill/donate.html.
Thank you for your support and working towards Justice Through Knowledge! As always, if you have any questions or concerns, you can reach us at [email protected].
Sincerely,
